The response to Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster has given an impetus to Tigmanshu Dhulia to continue making 'different' films. Before he launches into its sequel, the filmmaker talks about the release of his much-delayed Irrfan Khan-starrer Paan Singh Tomar based on the true story of an athlete who became a dacoit

Do you consider the good response to Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster last year as a turning point for your career?
Yes. But I had the same conviction and confidence in myself even when I made my first film. It is just that the perception of the industry has changed. My destiny is changing.
